Overview

An abode of scenic landscapes – Spiti Valley in the northeastern part of Himachal Pradesh, is a cold desert mountain valley and is the land between Tibet and India. One of India’s coldest places, Spiti derives its popularity from its snow-covered mountains, heavy snowfall, trekking trails and monasteries. Landscapes of Spiti is a wholesome escapade for nomads and travel enthusiasts all across the globe.

Spiti is well known for its Buddhist culture and is home to several monasteries like the Key Monastery, Dhankar Monastery, Kungri Monastery and Tabo Monastery. The crescent-shaped Chandratal Lake is a breathtaking sight and is a must-visit attraction in Spiti Valley, along with Suraj Tal.

A drive through Spiti is like a roller coaster that excites you at every turn, pumps your adrenaline, but satisfies your need for a thrill in every way, leaving you in its awe. Something unique to Spiti Valley is fossil hunting; Langza and Hikkim are full of fossils, and you can even buy fossil souvenirs. Close to the India-Tibet border is the quaint Tashigang village with a population of about 40 that offers marvellous views of the mountains, valleys and sunrise/sunset. On your trip to Spiti, try to find Thangka paintings that are Buddhist paintings on cotton and silk.

Witness the slow transformation from lush green hills of Kinnaur to barren brown landscapes of Spiti. Breathe in the fresh air as you sit on the isolated slopes of the last village – ‘Chitkul’ while you soak in the magnificent landscapes surrounded by you.Feel the chills as you look down upon a tiny truck from Asia’s highest suspended Chicham bridge or cross the manually operated cable ropeway to Kibber village. Capture an Instagram perfect story as you slip into silence with an encompassing view of Kinnaur Kailash peaks which are high enough to leave the world below and enter the world of dreams.
